Belonging interdependence

It is well known that crystal and electronic structures are interdependent and define the reactivity of chemical substances. In Section 1.4.2, it was noted that copper-porphyrin complex gives cation-radicals with significant reactivity at the molecular periphery. This reactivity appears to be that of nucleophilic attack on this cation-radical, which belongs to n-type. The literature sources note, however, some differences in the reactivity of individual positions. A frequently observed feature in these n-cation derivatives is the appearance of an alternating bond distance pattern in the inner ring of porphyrin consistent with a localized structure rather than the delocalized structure usually ascribed to cation-radical. A pseudo Jahn-Teller distortion has been named as a possible cause of this alternation, and it was revealed by X-ray diffraction method (Scheidt 2001). 

It contains six anharmonicity constants. The three having two identical indices belong to one of each of the three normal vibrations, the three others are the coupling constants which give a measure of their interdependence. The frequency in (cm-1) of a given vibrational transition is ... 

E-coalition models are involved with several components, while e-business (B2B orB2C) process models are made up of single components. Both models are interdependent. E-coalitions belong to the family of organizational processes, while e-business proeesses are in rapport with business proeesses. The generic metamodel of federation introdueed by Tiako (1999) and further developed by Tiako et al. (2001) can be specialized to supporte-eoalitions and e-business processes. 

The groups are partially interdependent so that it is not possible to differentiate completely between the three effects. Some parameters cannot be assigned to one particular group. Parachor, for example, is related to molar volume and would therefore be expected to be a measure of steric effect. It is also related to solubility (p. 222) and therefore belongs to the second group as well. 

Building interdependent trust and belonging should be part of the mission statement for every corporate endeavor that involves people. It should influence almost every conversation we have with coworkers. It is a continuous journey, essential to cultivating an organization of individuals and teams whose personal and shared accountabilities for safety and health are sufficient to achieve a Total Safety Culture. The seven C-words reviewed here are easy to remember, and although their meanings overlap to some extent, each offers distinct directives for trust-budding behavior. 

The last two kindergarten rules in Figure 11.1 are directly relevant to safety and, in fact, reflect basic themes of this text. As discussed previously, especially in Chapter 10, safety needs people to stick together in a spirit of shared belonging and interdependence. However, sometimes we need activators to remind us of this critical rule and consequences to keep us working together for safety. 

It seems intuitive that building a sense of community or belonging among our coworkers will improve organizational safety. Safety improvement requires interpersonal observation and feedback and, for this to happen, people need to adopt a collective win-win perspective instead of the individualistic win-lose orientation common in many work settings. A sense of belonging and interdependency leads to interpersonal trust and caring—essential features of a Total Safety Culture. 

Through actively caring, and enhancing self-esteem, empowerment, and belonging, we can bring down the "us vs. them" walls that entrap a work culture. Active caring spreads mutual trust and interdependence throughout the culture. In a Total Safety Culture, everyone benefits from each individual s efforts. 

This chapter is about win-win teamwork. It builds on the principles of behavior-based safety presented in Section 3, tire intervention tools from behavior-based safety detailed in Section 4, and the concepts of group belonging and interdependence discussed in Section 5.
